We call ourselves “Marketplace,” so part of our job is exploring how marketplaces work, in all their forms. Come with me as we visit five markets, all in the near-orbit of this program’s world headquarters in Los Angeles. None are financial markets in a formal sense, but all markets are financial markets in a way, right? My goal was to learn from the experts the right and the wrong moves in places where humans buy and sell face to face.
This is “Tricks of the Trade,” a Marketplace special. What we can learn from the pros at five marketplaces.
